Flood water crashed through Circa Sportsbook as monsoonal storms rocked Vegas
A wave of monsoonal storms has caused major flooding across the Las Vegas Valley, including casinos and sportsbooks along the Vegas strip.
The first rainfall began Wednesday and caused outages. Then, more rain dumped on the valley Thursday. Some areas received more than an inch in just a two-hour period, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The Las Vegas Strip reported wind gusts of 71 miles per hour. The flooding was so bad downtown that it crashed through a television in Circa Sportsbook.
Flooding also impacted other casinos like Caesars, according to unconfirmed videos on social media, and a parking garage along the strip.
Meteorologist Barry Pierce told the Review-Journal that storms could repeat Friday.
